About Faith Recovery Austin
Connecting Austin with Christ-centered recovery resources and building a community of hope
Our Mission
Faith Recovery Austin exists to connect individuals struggling with addiction and life-controlling issues to Christ-centered recovery resources throughout the Austin area.
We believe that lasting recovery happens through the transforming power of Jesus Christ. Our mission is to serve as a bridge between those seeking freedom and the life-giving recovery programs available in our community.
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free.” (Luke 4:18)
Our Story
Faith Recovery Austin was born out of a simple yet profound need: connecting people in crisis with hope-filled, Christ-centered recovery resources in our city. We recognized that many individuals and families affected by addiction were searching for recovery programs that honored their faith while providing practical support.
Austin is home to numerous churches and ministries offering excellent recovery programs like Celebrate Recovery, Re:gen, and other faith-based initiatives. However, these resources were often difficult to find or navigate. We saw an opportunity to serve both those seeking recovery and the churches providing these vital ministries.
Today, Faith Recovery Austin serves as a comprehensive directory and resource hub, making it easier for anyone to find Christ-centered recovery support in their neighborhood and connect with a community that understands their journey.

Our Heart
At Faith Recovery Austin, we understand that recovery is a journey, not a destination. We believe that every person struggling with addiction or life-controlling issues deserves to know that there is hope, help, and healing available through Jesus Christ.
We are not a recovery program ourselves, but rather a bridge to the incredible recovery ministries already serving our community. We see ourselves as part of God's bigger plan to bring restoration and freedom to Austin.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)
